A ReviewCristinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14863082224534612494noreply@blogger.comBlogger11125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16586584.post-9656500833544107322013-01-14T03:13:34.970+01:002013-01-14T03:13:34.970+01:00just finished a few minutes ago to read the book, ... just finished a few minutes ago to read the book, and by the end, my face was soaked with tears that kept running down, and I ended up actually sobbing. I absolutely loved the book, completely addictive I couldn&#39;t put it down. I bought it on wednesday and finished it today (I would have finished it earlier if I didn&#39;t have a job lol). Having read Jane Eyre about 3 times, and while I&#39;ve read lots of fan fictions are very ill written and get the characters wrong, I checked reviews for this one, and I could barely find a negative one. Everybody seemed to like it, and so I bought it for my tablet. <br /><br />This story is compelling from the very first page, even from the prologue, the focus on Rochester&#39;s feelings every page make it very captivating. I could tell this book did justice to all the characters, and I grew to love Edward Rochester even more than I already did, and Jane too. English is not my first language so Mrs. Bronte&#39;s writing is a little difficult for me, but the way this book is written, a bit more modernized, is far easier to read for me, and it didn&#39;t loose the the essence at all. This book fills up the gaps the original story has, some minor, some large that are barely mentioned in the original novel. I enjoyed many characters that have a minor role in the book, but are way more important in this one (ie: Carter, Grace, Céline, etc...) and the impact each one of them had on Rochester at some point in his life. <br /><br />I was thrilled and exhausted from all the waves of emotions that I was experiencing reading it, and by the time the book reaches the end of Jane Eyre&#39;s original novel (reader, I married him..), my heart was overwhelmed by the beautiful and deep love the characters felt for each other, and Mrs. Bradley makes sure to mention that all the time in many different ways. <br /><br />My humble advise, is to anybody who enjoys Jane Eyre and wish there would be more of the story, do not skip this book, it&#39;s beautifully written and the character blossom under Mrs. Bradley quill.Daniela Salazarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10961901831420363058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16586584.post-84556570455326602572012-02-21T03:19:27.843+01:002012-02-21T03:19:27.843+01:00I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book!

I totally agree with everything Traxy wrote about this amazing book, but especially about the parts related to illness and injury. As a nurse, I couldn&#39;t help but think Ms. Bradley must be a health care professional because of the insight she has into disease processes, as well as the history of nursing. <br /><br />Also, I loved the way Ms. Bradley developed the relationship between Carter, the surgeon, and Edward. It takes on a lovely dimension in later years, through their children. When I finished the book, I wanted to know what happened next to that generation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16586584.post-40771445251996894462011-06-11T03:58:48.893+02:002011-06-11T03:58:48.893+02:00I did feel like Edward was telling me things, thou...I did feel like Edward was telling me things, though, weird as that sounds.

No, I&#39;m just a Jane Eyre fanatic who didn&#39;t discover the book until I was in my thirties and then read it over and over and over and over because it was the best book I had ever read in my life.

Glad the novel has spread even though it&#39;s only available on the Kindle platform. :) What I find so amazing about JEH is that it fills in the blanks in a seamless way that it makes it feel as if this is what was intended all along. Just reading the names of Rochester&#39;s parents made me think &quot;why yes, of course those were their names!&quot; because they fit in so well with it. Maybe the author was channeling Charlotte Brontë when writing? :)Traxyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13249884092846934427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16586584.post-60083492820558110322011-06-05T21:01:43.242+02:002011-06-05T21:01:43.242+02:00LOL, I posted as my husband just now:

It is such a beautiful story that I couldn&#39;t put down. Mrs. Bradley nailed the characters so well and I think she has written possibly the definitive version of what happened to the characters as well as the filled in details of Grace Poole, Bertha, Celine, the other mistresses, and much more. Thankfully there is a book that explores all the themes of Jane Eyre and expands them. Now, will it please get into print so that it can sit next to my Jane Eyre book?? :)rapunzel77noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16586584.post-77272371448911238972011-06-05T21:00:22.335+02:002011-06-05T21:00:22.335+02:00I downloaded the free software that Amazon provide...I downloaded the free software that Amazon provides to read kindle books just so I can read this one.

I&#39;m slowly working my way through it - slowly, because I savor and re-read each chapter and because I don&#39;t want it to end -- and I totally agree with you. You&#39;ve written the review I would have written. Tara Bradley&#39;s book is &quot;the definitive prequel, re-telling and sequel to the greatest love story of all time&quot; and all those who love &quot;Jane Eyre&quot; owe it to themselves to read this wonderful book.RhubarbsMomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16586584.post-55105299969866667162011-06-02T14:46:27.203+02:002011-06-02T14:46:27.203+02:00Thanks for the extensive review of this wonderful ...Thanks for the extensive review of this wonderful book (which, BTW, does NOT need to be compared to anyone else&#39;s, because &quot;Jane Eyre&#39;s Husband&quot; stands miles above all the others, full stop!).<br /><br />I hope &quot;Jane Eyre&#39;s Husband&quot; will get the wide readership it deserves among those who love Charlotte Bronte&#39;s original story.
